There was an indie Minecraft-y, Steamworld Dig-y first person shooter thing that I've already forgotten the name of, and now I think we're onto State of Decay 2. I think this is going to be a pretty long show, but it's not bad at all so far. I'm guessing they'll probably save the price for last.

Phil Spencer's definition of 'exclusive' apparently mostly means 'console launch exclusive', which means it's going to be on PC, and it's going to be on PS4, too, but for a brief period the Xbox is the only console it's going to be on. I'm sure we'll see even more tortured definitions of the term before E3 is out

EDIT - Oh no, a 'famous Shoutcaster' is on stage live-commentating on some kind of third-person Overwatch. It's called 'The Darwin Project', and it was so generic I've already forgotten everything about it.

Now they're advertising Minecraft for some reason. Oh no, they've got a whole Minecraft segment with a lady talking on stage. We had a good run, Microsoft.

"TODAY WE'RE UNVEILING A NEW LOOK FOR MINECRAFT, THAT WE'RE SUPER DUPER EXCITED FOR YOU TO TRY OUT!"

They way she said 'super duper' made me think it was a pun on something, but... I guess that's just how this lady talks? It's a high-quality graphics pack for Minecraft, by the way.

EDIT - For a moment I thought they might have been showing a new Dragon's Dogma, but it turned out to be a Korean MMO. I feel like Microsoft might have had to dig a little too deep to reach that 42 game total.

Now there's a neat pixel-art Cyberpunk thing called The Last Night that looks pretty rad.

Take a drink every time you hear the word 'exclusive' if you're looking to wipe away the memory of that awful EA show yesterday, btw.

EDIT - There was an anime hack-n-slash thing that looked kind of terrible, and now we're onto Sea of Thieves.

I think this would probably be fun enough if you had a team of friends to pirate with, but it's really not the most interesting game to watch an extended demo of.

EDIT - Oh boy this is a long Sea of Thieves demo. Coming early 2018, they say.

Now back to your regularly scheduled 'launch exclusives'. This one is Tacoma, from the Gone Home people, and I'm totally going to play it. August 2nd!

EDIT - I thought they were teasing Conker, but I guess this is an unrelated 3D platformer starring a squirrel... maybe fox thing. Super Lucky's Tale, apparently.

We've got Cuphead. This game still looks amazing, and now it has a release date! September 29th, after all these years.

And now Crackdown 3 starring live-action Terry Crews for some reason! Why not?

It seems like they've basically rebuilt Crackdown 3 entirely since we last saw it. It's now back to the cartoony, black-outlines style of the first game, but I think all that destructibility stuff is still there? Hard to tell; I saw one building collapse, but they didn't really focus on it. Comes out November 7th, same day as the Xbox One X.

Crackdown 3's been preeeetty heavily downgraded since the last time we saw it, though. They've dropped the realistic art style entirely and they didn't so much as mention any of the power of the cloud stuff. I suppose they might reveal some X-specific stuff after the show, but they didn't really position it as a showcase for the new console.
